With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Foothill Elaenia sighting in Podocarpus National Park on a given day, based on 103 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 155th most-seen of the 446 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–May, August and November–February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Foothill Elaenia in Podocarpus National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March, June–July and September–October, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Foothill Elaenia sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Podocarpus National Park, in our data
Podocarpus National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Foothill Elaenia sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Foothill Elaenia is recorded against all the birds logged in Podocarpus National Park (103 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
